AAON delivered a strong third-quarter beat in fiscal 2025, reporting revenue of $384.24 million, up 17.4% year-over-year and well ahead of the $337.53 million consensus estimate, while diluted EPS of $0.37 topped the $0.32 analyst expectation by 14.9… Read more AAON delivered a strong third-quarter beat in fiscal 2025, reporting revenue of $384.24 million, up 17.4% year-over-year and well ahead of the $337.53 million consensus estimate, while diluted EPS of $0.37 topped the $0.32 analyst expectation by 14.91%, easing concerns that had weighed on shares heading into the print. The standout driver was an explosive surge in data center cooling demand under the company's BASX brand, where BASX-branded sales climbed 95.8% year-over-year to $124.80 million, anchoring a record total backlog of $1.32 billion, up 103.8% from a year ago. Gross margin compressed to 27.8% from 34.9% a year prior, pressured by ERP implementation inefficiencies and unabsorbed costs at the new Memphis facility, though sequential improvement offered an encouraging signal. Management raised its full-year 2025 sales growth outlook to mid-teens from a prior low-teens forecast, narrowed gross margin guidance to 28.0%-28.5%, and expects operating cash flow to turn meaningfully positive in the fourth quarter as working capital unwinds.
Key Takeaways
- • BASX-branded sales rose 95.8% driven by liquid cooling equipment for data centers
- • Record total backlog of $1.32 billion up 103.8% year-over-year
- • National account bookings increased 96% in the quarter
- • Improved ERP system efficiency and increased production throughput
- • AAON-branded sales rose 28.1% sequentially reflecting production momentum
- • Longview facility reached 90% of production target in September and exceeded it in October
